An LUCC Old Favourite makes the big time

It has come to the attention of the avid MTV Dance viewer that an old member of the LUCC Christmas dinner has made the big time and has now managed to make its way into Armand Van Helden’s – I want your soul video. If this little guy can make it theres hope for us all.
